LS Colloidal silver first aid gel

The question that would be more appropriate over here would be "How effective is CS against LS?" and to that question, there is no concrete widespread evidence at this point. However, if your LS is associated with bacterial invasion, or if it has reacted favorably when taking antibiotics, then CS might be of some help to provide your body a fighting chance to heal. I have also read that some cases of LS have actually been misdiagnosed and were in fact, other forms of bacterially associated dermatis that have been cured, when the causative bacteria was eliminated. I have indicated a link on such a story in the LS forum, on a specific post about antibiotics.

I personally have cured myself of another so-called incurable skin disease called Lichen Simplex Chronicus with St. John's Wort, and have excellent reasons to believe that the anti-microbial properties of the plant were behind my success story. Thanks to modern research, the disease is now linked to Staphylococcus Aureus, against which an anti-microbial molecule present in St. John's Wort is known to be effective.

So eventhough I haven't personally tried CS for any condition, I follow any recent discoveries with great interest, as I believe many modern diseases may be linked to bacteria. Remember that each and everyone one of us is always a guinea pig when trying out any medicine against disease. We can only hope for the best, and if it works, then we are part of the blessed ones who dared to try something different and helped science advance!

Good luck!

As for LS being an auto-immune disease... I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just yet. I was told the same thing for two decades by the dermatologists who followed the progression of my LSC. They told me that there was nothing that could be done about it, except obtaining relief with cortisone creams that eventually did nothing but aggravate the overall damage to my skin's surface... to the point that I completely gave up on conventional creams for years, and accepted the better relief I would obtain occasionally, when sunbathing and swimming in salt water.

One of those dermatologists also told me that LSC was somewhat a "self-mutilation" disease linked to anxiety, where the act of scratching only made things worse, and that cortisone-based creams would help me stop inflicting more wounds to myself! That whole story made me laugh profusely when I read the results of new research from the University of Michigan last year: according to that research, eczema (which includes LSC), is at the very least aggravated by the presence of SA bacteria that colonizes damaged skin by forming biofilms over it. The particular strain of SA linked to eczema then emits a toxin nicknamed Delta, that causes the mast cells to degranulate. But when the mast cells degranulate, they liberate a lot of histamine, which, as everyone knows, is the same substance liberated in the skin when we are biten by an insect. No wonder I was "self-mutilating"... They should've put me in a stray jacket back then, I guess! But of course, since SJW has cured me a little over a year and a half ago, I find it very interesting that I am no longer a threat to my own skin!

I'm not trying to blame anyone here, but I think medicine is very much in its infancy, contrarily to popular beliefs, and that there are still a whole lot of unexplained and poorly understood diseases. So when the "Doctor Gods" don't really know, they just try to find a temporary and reasonable explanation and give us a "Band-Aid" so that we may at least have hope for relief. Nothing wrong there, if they don't have the massive clinical trials to prove that such or such natural antibiotic might actually be a final cure to many ills.

What I find more troubling, however, is that when I went back to brag to 2 separate dermatologists, showed off my "brand new skin", and explained how it had "grown back to its original state", I was told I had taken huge risks with "unofficial natural drugs", and that my disease was likely to come back with a vengeance anytime. That certainly was not professional... I was actually trying to help out, hoping that my case would relieve them from all those eczema sufferers walking into their offices everyday. I said to myself: "Surely, now they'll have more time to deal with more serious and threatening skin diseases such as Melanoma". Guess what? I don't think they were remotely interested by my small miracle, despite backing up my whole story with scientific facts available to anyone wishing to read.

So enjoy reading all you can about new research and breakthroughs, and when you feel comfortable enough to try something different, go ahead moderately at first, to make sure your body will tolerate what you are taking, at the very least. Then decide if you want to take additional risks by upping the doses. But never become too afraid if you know that most people are OK with whatever it is you are trying out. There never is an actual guarantee with anything, for anyone. And unfortunately, as the saying goes, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained". But don't count on conventional Docs to follow your progress... You'll need an unconventional practicioner if you do need that sort of support.

Best regards, and hope that you will eventually win the combat against LS! I know you can!

But I am not sure whether to actually go for information mentioned in above article or not..
